How to calibrate a HP9050 TouchScreen.
Don't bother with HP.com.au you won't find this information on there.
If you ever need to reset/re-calibrate the touchscreen on a HP 9000 9050 9040 etc printer try this.
- Turn off the printer.
- Hold down # and C buttons while turning the printer ON.
- A screen will shortly appear in the upper left region that has tiny black dot on it. tap this dot with pen or something pointy (although not as sharp as a knife as you'll damage the touchscreen). It won't really give you any feedback that you've pressed it.
- A second dot will appear in the lower right region of the screen. tap this dot.
- The printer will then boot as per normal and the touchscreen will be calibrated.
Result = Happy User :)

PSA - Batteries
To whom is interested. Let it be known that batteries are a consumable resource just like ink in your printer.
You don't log warranty calls when your printer runs out of ink. You just buy more ink and put it in the printer. A similar case is like your car you don't take it back to the vendor and ask for more petrol when it's empty you go an buy more petrol for your car.
Batteries DIE all the time, which is why you need to buy new ones. They all have limited lifecycles. There is no such thing as a perfect battery that never dies they will all break at sometime. It is in the nature of the chemical reaction that is going on inside the battery.
P.S. someone e-mail me when they do design the perfect battery. I want to buy millions.

Jenny McCarthy bodycount
I had the chance to see this lady on telly this morning she was on NBC promoting a book on why you should not vaccinate your child.
dead set if you do a little research on her you'll find that she is just plan wrong and pretty much bases her entire case on a sample data of ONE. that's right. Just because she believe it worked for her means that it should work for the entire planet.
People like here peddling her wares to stupid people make people die because of stupid ill-informed choices.
fair enough if you don't want to vaccinate your kid that's your choice just please never say to me " I chose to not vaccinate my kid because of what Jenny McCarthy showed me"

Reserving future payments idea for bank accounts
To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to suggest a new option for future payments.
Why can't we hold a reserve of money for scheduled payments when setting up future payments? Surely this would be a sensible option instead of late payment fees and warning users that if there are insufficient funds in the account that you'll be charged etc. I know that leaving it the way it is now would be a cash cow for a bank but I am pretty sure if you asked any user they would love to avoid insufficient funds penalties. This seems like a great way to do it helps everyone involved. The bank still has useable cash in the account until bill payment time. The end user knows a payment will go through and finally the honouring a transaction to the biller would go a long way as well. Everyone wins.
A great way to implement this would be when setting up a future transaction the user could chose option such as “ Would you like to reserve the cash amount for this future payment?” It could be a check box somewhere in the form.
Then on the main page under the account summary you could have a field that show the amount of reserved money for those future payments.
I think this would be a great idea and good way for command to make a few more friends around the place. I certainly would cringe less knowing that I future payment I setup WILL go ahead instead of having to logon again at bill time to make sure a payment went through.
Yours truly

Foxtel Saves You Money.
Foxtel you seriously must think people are idiots... "Sign up to PAYTV to save money". Why? I save money by not giving you my hard earned cash. You see I have a secret to revile that foxtel doesn't want us consumers to know.
My secret is that I have Free-To-Air Tv 24/7 and also the internet. Stumble/Youtube/Itunes/Joost. With those an more combined I don't need to hand over my money to watch Ad's in a format that it worse than regular TV.
and Those whom want to use PayTV why not look at the other providers of PayTV such as SelectTV as there packages are cheaper and still have all the main channels.
How consumers consume media is changing. We are entering the digtal age where everything is digtal and consumed in that format. Get with the game.
If you look at facts most of the good stuff on foxtel will cost you upwards of ove 100$ per month.. Yes you can get the basic package but to get the stuff that most people want you have to pay for it.

Going from Human-Waiting to Human-Being
Please allow me to post a quick update. I would very much like to let you know that Phoebe Elizabeth Parsons has just come to join the real world. Born on 3/3/09 @ 23:23 (hey! there all prime numbers except for the 09 of course)
We've just made it home and Phoebe is having a great little nap right now.. (So is Mum).
A massive shout-out to the following peoples as well:
Sheila (Midwife), You should rename your self to TopSheila because that's what you are. You helped us all the way along and even went beyond the call of duty to help us and for that we are so grateful. You are natural and you really do care about what you do, it shows. Thank you.
Paula (Midwife), for helping bring Phoebe into this world. you are also awesome! Thank you for dropping in afterwards after you shift to make sure we were OK. Thank you.
Amy Wakley, You are such a natural midwife and A great Friend. You helped not only Rissa but me also. I can see why Rissa keeps you as her best friend. You were there all the way along You made it so much easier for me to cope. Top honors to you my friend. and you can pretty much consider yourself an honorary Parsons as well.
Bev (Midwife), you helped Rissa make it all the way from week 1 to week 40.8. your advice has always was always spot on and when Rissa came home from every class she was always just that little more prepared for what laid ahead. Thank you.
I trust the public system not because I have to, but because of the people in it. Thank you to The Sutherland Hospital you have some of the best staff in the world.
Regards Joe Parsons
Very Proud Dad
